Block Diagram: `4.21 And` `(A) he was saying` `to them,` `(1) Is a lamp is brought in` `to be put` `under a peck measure` `or` `under a bed?` `(2) Is it not brought in` `to be put` `on the lampstand?` `4.22 For` `(3) nothing is hidden` `except that it be made manifest,` `neither` `(4) was anything concealed` `but that it should come to light.` `4.23 If anyone has ears` `to hear,` `(5) let him hear.` `4.24 And` `(B) he was saying` `to them,` `(6) Be careful of what you hear.` `With what measure you measure` `(7) it will be measured to you` `and` `(8) it will be added to you.` `4.25 For` `he who has,` `(9) it will be given to him,` `and` `he who has not,` `(10) even what he has will be taken from him.` `4.26 And` `(C) he was saying,` `(11) Thusly is the Kingdom of God` `as a man throws seed on the ground` `and` `4.27 he goes to bed at night` `and` `he rises by day` `and` `the seed sprouts` `and` `it grows,` `without his knowing it.` `(12) 4.28 Of itself the earth bears fruit,` `first the blade,` `then the head,` `then the grain in the head.` `4.29 And` `whenever the fruit is ripe,` `immediately` `(13) he puts in the sickle` `because the harvest has come.` `4.30 And` `(D) he was saying,` `(14) How can we compare the Kingdom of God,` `or` `(15) with what parable will we compare it?` `(16)4.31 It is like the mustard seed,` `when it is sown \|` `on the earth` `\|` `which is the smallest of all seeds` `of the earth` `4.32 and` `when it is sown` `----- grows` `and` `----- becomes greater` `than all herbs,` `and` `----- produces large branches` `so that the birds of the air are able` `to make their nests` `under its shade.`
